Een van de issues met feminisme is dat het klinkt alsof het alleen over vrouwen gaat, alsof alleen vrouwen mee moeten doen en alsof alleen vrouwen er iets aan hebben. Maar dat is natuurlijk verre van waar. Uit ‘How to Raise a Feminist Son’ (New York Times):

Even as we’ve given girls more choices for the roles they play, boys’ worlds are still confined, social scientists say. They’re discouraged from having interests that are considered feminine. They’re told to be tough at all costs, or else to tamp down their so-called boy energy.

If we want to create an equitable society, one in which everyone can thrive, we need to also give boys more choices. As Gloria Steinem says, “I’m glad we’ve begun to raise our daughters more like our sons, but it will never work until we raise our sons more like our daughters.”
